ЯВЛЕНИЕ ГЕОСИНОНИМИИ В СОВРЕМЕННОМ ИТАЛЬЯНСКОМ ЯЗЫКЕ

Te expansion of the phenomenon of geosynonymy in the Italian language is due to the coexistence of the standard Italian language and a large number of dialects and their variations in a single language space, which characterizes a signifcant linguistic and cultural fragmentation of the country. Te use of literary standard language in oral communication, which has always been the domain of dialects, inevitably led to multilevel interference and the formation of regional variants of Italian, which absorbed, in particular, diatopically labeled lexical units of dialectal origin. In some situations, when communicating in Italian, people of di fferent geographical areas may face misunderstanding. Te aim of this article is to examine these phenomena in the contemporary Italian language, to analyze the dynamics of the occurring changes and the a ffecting factors, to reveal general patterns and trends in the development of the described processes. Te question of the tendency to reduce the number of Italian geosynonyms along with the vocabulary unifcation of regional variations of the language, or to expand the phenomenon, is becoming extremely relevant, given the increased interest in dialects among Italian youth, their parallel or mixed use with Italian, including the written form.
